Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

This paper is primarily concerned with the etymology of some terms in the historical lexicon of nationalism: ethnicity, ethnos, race, Volksstamm. It is argued that European and US usages of race are radically different. It is also argued that the Habsburg-era term Volksstamm was the basis for the term narodnost in Socialist Yugoslavia.
